Thank you for uploading that - Boult was probably the greatest ever British conductor, and also an accessible man who didn't affect the grandiosity of some; a quick mind, deep intelligence, and one of the best influences on 20th century British music, without ever being narrowly nationalistic.
One great conductor speaking with admiration of another. Boult was truly a prince of a man.

With Beecham or even Barbarolli, a bit of an overestimation. But Boult certainly had his innings...
Nice to hear NBC announcer Ben Grauer again.
Boult revolutionized my idea of conducting from A to Z.
